Hi! My name is Lyn and I live in Canberra, Australia. I am the proud mum of four very different, happy and successful adult children - and our wonderful English Cocker Spaniel called Lucie Rose.

I have been a member of Spark People for several years, maintaining a reasonable though not ideal weight. I now realise this is because I had no partner, no event and no important date to reach my goals.

Last year, all of this changed. I met a wonderful man - a doctor and a member of the Autralian Navy - and he is my inspiration to look and feel great.

So now I have some excellent, achievable goals, some strong reasons to reach my goals and a ferocious determination to make this my awesome year!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my blog I love reading them. Yes, my cocker is about 4. She was a pound puppy so don't know the exact birthday. She was underfed badly when I got her. She is beyond food crazy. I say she eats like a prison inmate because she is insane. She loves her treats and her walks just have to trim her paws better to keep the snow from building up.
